Duke Nukem

Next, I began playing Duke Nukem, a fun game whose story I never really understood during childhood, due primarily to my limited ability to read the words on the screen. For a game of its time, it is pretty impressive, with certain items being affected by laser gun blasts, ceilings one can cling to, walls that can be shattered, etc. Although I never truly played any of the later games (save for in passing), I know that I loved Duke Nukem, the original. Particularly, I had a fondness for the machines, liking how they would smoke when near destruction, and how the choppers would come crashing down when fully damaged. From what I recall, it was a relatively easy game, but still one that I can enjoy even today.
